Electronic bassinet rocker

ABSTRACT

A bassinet which rocks in a side to side motion in either slow, medium or fast rocking motion. The bassinet is controlled by a motor, microchips and wires to create the movement. The bassinet will no longer need the movement of ones hand, as the motor and microchips will control it&#39;s rocking motion.

FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to the current bassinets, but with theimprovement of the hands free rocking motion. The hands free rockingmotion is a benefit to the parents or any person who have lack of sleepand may fall asleep while trying to put baby to sleep. The timer isthere, so if parent or a person gets side tracked or may fall asleep,baby won't be rocking for a long period of time. This bassinet isrelated to the tape players that are being used to record ones voice andplay back, along with the play, fast forward, rewind, pause, stop, ejectand tape turn over functions.

[0002] The invention which will be a benefit for the parent who canrecord their voices, sing or record their baby's voice and play it backfor the baby. The baby will feel at ease because if baby is in thebassinet and parent is a couple of inches away, baby will still hear theparents voice and feel at ease while lying down. This is also a benefitwhen the parents has something to do around the house and want to putbaby to sleep.

[0003] The curtains of the bassinet is one that would be different, theprevious bassinet would use a basket like form to hold everythinginside. Those previous bassinets do not have the storage compartmentsand the baskets cannot be moved like the curtains can to make it easierfor the parent to grab the items placed on the bottom of the bassinet.

[0004] U.S. Pat. No. 4,891,852 has a similarity when it comes to therocking motion of the bassinet, along with a hood or canopy over one endof the bassinet. This bassinet doesn't have the current features of theautomatic rocking motion with a timer, doesn't have the curtains orshelves used in this invention, doesn't have a microphone or a tapeplayer along with it. This patent presents that there is a rockingmotion in 2 ways and sits on four legs. This invention only rocks oneway and doesn't stand on 4 legs.

[0005] U.S. Pat. No. 5,694,655 has a similarity when it comes to therocking and the mattress assembly and the lock on the rocking method.This patent shows there is a handle to lock the rocking, but doesn'thave the electronic signal to lock the rocking. This invention presentsthat the timer will lock the rocking for safety reasons. This patentshows a form of collapsing, which this invention does not present.

[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 6,470,516 has a similarity of the rocking motion ofthe bassinet and the baby sleeping area. This patent has a canopy orhood on one end to cover the baby head, along with the insert where thebaby will be sleeping, but the frame of the bassinet beneath is formeddifferently. This patent doesn't show the automatic rocking motion witha timer, but does show the rocker can be unfold, which is not a featureof this invention.

[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 5,739,452 has a similarity to the recording of onesvoice through the microphone. This patent is a karaoke apparatus thatpicks up a singing voice sound, which is similar to the microphone usedfor this bassinet, except doesn't have the mini wireless microphone likethis invention does.

[0008] U.S. Pat. No. 4,396,957 has a similarity to the tape deck beingused on the bassinet. This patent is a tape control system to recordthrough blank or unrecorded spaces, which is similar to the tape playerused for this bassinet invention. This patent is not a compact tapeplayer, which this bassinet invention tape player is, but will not haveall the features this patent has.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

[0009] The motor will be attached to the bottom middle of the bassinetto create the rocking movements. The tape player is to record ones voiceto play back to the baby or to play music; this can be used for baby tolisten to himself/herself talking, which intrigues babies. The classicmusic selection box is there for the baby to listen to classic music and2 soothing noises. The microphones are to record baby if parent wants torecord the baby's voice while baby is playing in the bassinet. Themattress is formed at two inches for comfort for the baby. The timer isthere to keep track of how long the baby is rocking for. The vibrationis there to soothe the baby while lying in the bassinet. The hangingtoys are there to help baby get strength in the arms and help the baby'seyesight improve. The curtains are there so parent can open and closethe bottom with ease to make it easier to grab the items needed. Theshelves are there for the blankets; baby wipes; diapers; bottles oranything else placed down, so the rocking wont make the objects move outof place. The turning wheels are there so the bassinet can move fromroom to room, if turned out and turned in once the bassinet is going tobe rocked.
